X Marks the Happiness.

Maybe happiness was a buried treasure in the most obvious places. Maybe happiness had giant, bold, and bright x's for us to find and dig up. Too often we walked right over it. Maybe it's merely our fault for not digging up the happiness.

It's not something we should be afraid of, to dig it up and find it. What if God sprinkled happiness in the most perfect places, so that we can water it and discover it? What if the only reason we don't have happiness is because we don't seek it--we don't find it! I won't be a failure at happiness. I want to embrace it and never let it go.

They say you know when you've found what you're looking for. You know because you stop questioning it. Once you question it, you don't know anymore. They say you just know when you get the right answer. You know because you don't wonder anymore, because you don't doubt you've found it. You know because you feel content and happy about it.

You know because you're happy.

Happiness is exactly where the treasure is. On a map to find the X, we strive to find it fast. But the journey to get the X makes it all the more special. It's happiness on that map, waiting for us to discover it and accept it. Will we bother to find the bold and obvious X? Or will we carelessly walk right over it?

You make the choice.

I'm discovering the happiness and I'm determined to water it.

Sometimes what it takes to find that happiness is to be caged on top of it, where it feels like the only way out is down, but when you begin to dig and you find that happiness and resurface, you realise the cage was never there in the first place..

I'm happy because I choose to be happy. Guess it was there all along. :)
